I Am Missing You by Leather Zachmann

The day is dark; the nights are dreary.
My heart is heavy; my head is weary.
I writhe beneath sweat soaked sheets,
Tears keep the rhythm to my heart beats.

I am missing you.

I hear your voice whisper inside my head.
I cry aloud, alone upon my tear stained bed.
I wish your face would, from the darkness, appear.
Remembering you, feeds my soul some cheer.

I am missing you.

"Where are you now?" I asked the night.
Silence, the only answer to my plight.
I moan softly to your pillowed image.
My love for you will not diminish.

I am missing you.

What I'd give to see you just once more;
For a phone call, or a gentle knock upon my door.
Perhaps a letter from some far off place,
Just to let me know that you are safe.

I am missing you.

I wait, I sigh, yet hear not one word.
I pray to God, but even He hasn't heard.
I implore you to reach out and speak to me.
I lay, face buried, hoping you'll hear my plea.

I am missing you.

It's been so long since we've departed.
I weep, beneath the sheets of the broken-hearted.
I try to overcome these feelings for you.
I wish a fresh start, I wish to begin anew.

I am missing you.

I have no choice now but to let go.
I guess I've reaped what I did sow.
So here is my final sad farewell,
But know eternally, my heart you'll dwell.

I will forever, miss you.
